Q. I noticed in a recent news article that several thousand dvds/videos from Videomatica have been acquired by SFU. Where will this collection be housed (which campus?), will the materials be available for regular loan to students/staff/faculty, and if so, when can we expect to see them on the shelves?

A. Indeed, the SFU Library acquired over 3000 documentary dvds and vhs from Videomatica. These items are currently in the process of being organized, catalogued and processed by the Cataloguing Division and they will eventually be housed in the Media Resource Centre in the Bennett Library, but as with all circulating Bennett Library materials they will be requestable from the Surrey and Vancouver campuses. The timeline for when they will be available is a little fluid, as I’m sure you can understand, but the current plan is that they will be available before 2013.

A. Thank you for your suggested purchase of “The Weight of Chains”. Unfortunately, the requested film falls outside of the collecting scope of the SFU Library, as most media purchases are made for course related purposes.

Q. The alumni access to the library services and materials is very limited – just books. I understand that the reserve materials are for students and faculty only, but what about media resources and online resources? Can the library look at widening the access to materials for alumni? For example, allowing alumni to borrow media materials that are only “in library”, so no holds can be placed on materials that are checked out. Is there a library card that I can purchase that grants access to media items and online materials?

A. Thanks very much for this suggestion. I will order a copy of the DVD for the library. In order that this DVD can be shown in the classroom, I’m requesting a copy with Public Performance Rights that will be housed in the Media Resource Centre in Burnaby, but can be sent to Belzberg for viewing or booking. As soon as we receive the DVD, it will be sent to Belzberg for you to view – you’ll get an email when it arrives. Please don’t hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions or further suggestions.

regards,
Karen.
